In response to the cries of the citizens of District #4 in Bong County, the Co-Founder and Chief Patron of the Gbarnga based Nowah Gorkoyah Larsah Foundation, Mrs. Rashidat Williams Larsah, has listened to the clamor of the people of District #4 and has heeded their cries for help.

The donation targeted beneficiaries with focus on 3 key categories of citizens, including children, the handicapped, widows and widowers among others.
The scope of the ongoing donation exercise is large and will cover 100 bags of rice, several bales of footwears and lappas.
The commencement of the donation, which will ultimately impact the lives of countless citizens, was preceded by a survey conducted by the staff of the Nowah Gorkoyah Larsah Foundation over 2 months ago and covered various major towns and satellite communities of electoral District #4.
